The neighing of warhorses was endless, and the Snow Domain cavalry advanced one after another. In just one hour, they broke through the Sixth Army's camp. With blood-stained weapons, they rushed into the next army's camp formation after clearing the Sixth Army's camp. This army camp was personally commanded by Feng Quan, the Ninth Army's camp.
Lin Zhao charged at the forefront, his Li Quan dancing wildly. Sword light whizzed around him, his nineteen flying swords darting out, constantly killing the demon soldiers guarding the formation. While they couldn't be instantly killed, the demon soldiers were struck with terror. Just then, a group of demon spearmen rushed out from the woods on the side. Their spear tips glinted with cold light, piercing more than ten surprised Snow Domain cavalrymen, horses and riders alike. Immediately after, several Snow Domain cavalrymen in the right flank charge let out screams, falling into deep pits with their horses, and more cavalrymen were overturned. A series of events occurred, severely hindering the Snow Domain army's advance.
The Tenth Army's camp was the demon race's elite, personally commanded by the brave and skilled twelfth-realm Sword Immortal Feng Quan. Before Lin Zhao and his group arrived, Shi Jun Gang had already ascertained that the Snow Domain Heavenly Pond would definitely send troops, and their attack direction could only be here. Therefore, the Tenth Army's camp formation was filled with barricades, long spears, horse traps, and tripping ropes, all prepared for Lin Zhao.
"Upper Five Realms, Open the Path!"
Lin Zhao gritted his teeth and let out a low roar. Chen Ben, Chu Yu, and Mu Gua leaped from their horses, their bodies wrapped in protective qi, sweeping away all the barricades and long spears. Their fist winds swept across the ground, tearing apart the tripping ropes. Their bodies surged with profound fist intent, ignoring the rules of the battlefield as they flew through the air, constantly punching to clear a path for the Snow Domain cavalry.
In the air, the Flood Dragon Boat lowered its altitude. A series of Spirit Crystal giant cannons bombarded the ground, significantly reducing the Tenth Army's combat power. Deep within the army camp, Feng Quan raised his hand and drew the sword at his back, his eyes filled with killing intent. In the next moment, a Hurricane Sword Intent erupted from his body, soaring into the sky. He raised his hand and unleashed two sword qi wreathed in hurricanes, heading straight for the Snow Domain army on the ground.
On the deck of the Flood Dragon Boat, Wu Zhi also raised a sword. A light sword glow rolled along the ground and collided with one of Feng Quan's hurricane sword qi, canceling each other out. Huang Tingyu sat by the ship's side, not drawing his sword, but suddenly opening a large hand that solidified into a golden palm, forcefully pressing Feng Quan's other sword qi into the ground.
"Feng Quan!"
A scruffy man stood at the bow of the boat, emanating overwhelming killing intent. He laughed, "Forget about the others. Tang Guang Jun, by the Mountain Lord's order, has come to take your dog life!"
Saying this, Tang Guang Jun's sword cleaved the air. He drew his sword and struck at Feng Quan like lightning. Feng Quan's expression grew solemn, as he could tell Tang Guang Jun's killing intent was different from usual. It seemed he was truly intent on killing him. Thus, a Dharma manifestation of white egret wings appeared behind him. While rapidly retreating, he continuously unleashed sword attacks. The two of them almost simultaneously charged into the nearby woods, and then, sword qi of two entirely different natures continuously clashed and rolled within the woods. The battles of two twelfth-realm Sword Immortals had to be far from the battlefield, otherwise, innocent bystanders would inevitably be affected.
"Keep charging forward!"
Lin Zhao looked ahead, then glanced at Wu Zhi on the deck of the Flood Dragon Boat. He said in his heart, "If Shi Jun Gang dares to show himself, you and Old Huang must kill her. Don't give Shi Jun Gang any chance to escape."
"Yes!"
Wu Zhi nodded. She naturally understood why Lin Zhao hated Shi Jun Gang so much. Among the demon race, the person Lin Zhao hated the most was Lu Hai, because Lu Hai had killed too many people. Gu Zixi, Zhang Liucheng, Han Buyu, and others had all died by Lu Hai's hand. The second person he hated was Shi Jun Gang. She had used forbidden means to possess someone, killing Wang Yue. This incident had nearly caused Lin Zhao's Dao heart to collapse, making him forever unable to reach the higher realms. Therefore, their hatred was equally profound.
...
"Ding!"
At this moment, a message arrived from Shen Xingchen: "Lin Zhao, I just received news from the eastern battlefield. Under the attack of 300,000 demon cavalry, the Ji Han Legion has already been defeated and is now in full retreat. They have already ceded the territory east of the Stone Wall Army to the demons. Soon, the right flank defense of the Stone Wall Army will directly face the demon cavalry."
"This damn..."
Lin Zhao gritted his teeth, even cursing in front of Shen Xingchen. He knew the Ji Han Legion was unreliable, but he never expected them to be so unreliable. They were defeated too quickly, not even playing any role in containing the northern four races' armies. This meant that only the Stone Wall Army and the Snow Domain Army were left to fight against the one million three hundred thousand troops of the northern four races!
Something must be planned.
Lin Zhao frowned and said, "Xingchen, you have a wide network of contacts. Create a chat group as quickly as possible and invite all the guild leaders from the top 100 guilds in the national server. Be fast, and then invite me too. We must mobilize the power of the players this time, otherwise, both the Stone Wall Army and the Snow Domain Heavenly Pond will face the crisis of total annihilation."
"Understood, give me three minutes!"
A short while later, Lin Zhao received an invitation and joined Shen Xingchen's group chat. Also in the group were Leng Yan, Su Xinghe, Yi Shi Cang Liang, Xian Bai, and other players. As for the guilds that had already joined the northern four races, they were not considered.
"Lin Zhao?"
Yi Shi Cang Liang frowned. "What's the matter? You've pulled such a large group of us in."
"Yes."
Shu Mei Jian Qing Feng smiled and said, "If there's anything, you can say it directly. No need to beat around the bush."
"Alright, I'll cut to the chase."
Lin Zhao said gravely, "Originally, the Stone Wall Army only needed to hold Gu Xiao Pass. With the combat power of Lin Ruo and the Stone Wall Army, the demon and devil races would never dare to attack the pass rashly. Even if they took it, it would be a pyrrhic victory, and they would find it hard to bear such a cost. But someone in Baidi City stirred up trouble, cooperating with the demon race to perform a scene of coercion. Two golden edicts plus a holy decree forced Lin Ruo to lead the army north. The Stone Wall Army defending Cui Yu Mountain was my suggestion to Lin Ruo, so that they could temporarily resolve the current predicament with a defensive posture. But I did not expect that the Ji Han Legion, responsible for the right flank defense, would be so incompetent. The 200,000 Ji Han Legion was defeated at the very beginning and is now in full retreat southward. Therefore, the 60,000 to 70,000 defenders of the Stone Wall Army on the eastern right flank must directly face 300,000 demon cavalry!"
He frowned and said, "If everyone has read the background story, you should know how powerful the demon cavalry is. Moreover, it's cavalry fighting infantry. Even with the terrain advantage, the Stone Wall Army cannot win. So, I have no choice but to mobilize the player forces, hoping that everyone can temporarily put aside the honor battlefield of Akihabara. Everyone, bring your guild members and transfer to the battlefield on the eastern border of Cui Yu Mountain. We have 100 guilds, and if each guild sends 5,000 people, that's 500,000 troops. Coupled with the 60,000 to 70,000 elites of the Stone Wall Army, even if we can't win, we can at least give the 300,000 demon cavalry a tough fight."
"..."
There was a brief silence.
"Our Cang Long has no problem!"
Yi Shi Cang Liang was the first to speak. "The Cang Long Guild has over 30,000 people on the battlefield. I will gather them all immediately. So what if they all die? We can't let the demon and devil races ride on our heads and act so arrogantly. As players of the human race, watching the Stone Wall Army be completely annihilated, I don't know what other guilds' attitudes are, but my Cang Long will not lose face!"
Shu Mei Jian Qing Feng nodded. "I will immediately gather all the online members of Wu Wang to participate in the battle!"
Leng Yan: "Yes, Sheng Tian will also participate!"
Xian Bai: "Xun Xian will also participate!"
Jian Huang gritted his teeth and said, "Although our Lin Yuan Xian Yu suffered a great loss to Sheng Shi Mu Dan on the eastern battlefield and suffered heavy casualties, I will try my best to mobilize my brothers, and we should still be able to have twenty to thirty thousand people participate!"
Su Xinghe said gravely, "Since it's for the sake of the human race, then Xinghe has no reason not to participate. We must all participate!"
The leaders of many guilds nodded one after another. Soon, the top 100 guilds in the national server all announced their participation and began their preparations. The command of the eastern battlefield fell to Shen Xingchen, Leng Yan, Su Xinghe, Yi Shi Cang Liang, Xian Bai, and others. These people had enough prestige in the national server to command other guilds.
Shortly after, a large number of players left the honor battlefield and approached the eastern side of Cui Yu Mountain. Chen Xue, carrying a long spear and riding a warhorse, led the members of the Scarlet Moon Knights to arrive first. She stood far away, not giving the order to attack immediately. In the woods south of Cui Yu Mountain, the Stone Wall Army and the demon race had already begun to fight. Countless dense demon cavalry galloped forward, charging directly towards the Stone Wall Army's formation.
A few minutes later, Leng Yan led the people from the Sheng Tian Guild to arrive. Then, the main forces of Xinghe, Cang Long, Xun Xian, Lin Yuan Xian Yu, and other guilds arrived one after another. Looking down at the battlefield from the north, on the vast battlefield, 250,000 demon cavalry were launching successive charges against the Stone Wall Army's formation with earth-shattering momentum. The battlefield was filled with the tragic scenes of spears piercing bodies and warhorses trampling infantry. It was truly astonishing.
Shen Xingchen stood at the edge of the hillside, holding her staff, her delicate brows slightly furrowed. "At this rate of attack, the defenders of the Stone Wall Army can at most hold on for half an hour before they can't sustain it."
"Let's go!"
Yi Shi Cang Liang drew his long sword and raised his eyebrows slightly. "These demon brats really think we players don't exist. Since that's the case, we players of the human world must fight for our honor!"
"Right!"
Su Xinghe also felt inexplicably heated. He drew his sword and pointed forward, laughing, "We must fight for honor for the human world!"
"Kill!"
Chen Xue raised her long spear high. "Scarlet Moon Knights, charge with me!"
"Xinghe, attack!"
"Cang Long, charge with me!"
"Xun Xian, destroy the demons!"
On the hillside, various voices rang out. Following this, the cavalry-type players from various guilds went first. Countless cavalry charged down from the mountain, their hooves splashing snow, kicking up billowing snow dust. Without hesitation, they attacked from the flanks and directly collided with the terrifyingly powerful demon cavalry. After the cavalry went first, the infantry followed. For a time, players were everywhere, charging directly at the demon cavalry!
...
On the eastern mountain ridge.
A commander of the Stone Wall Army looked at the scene before him, his sword trembling slightly, his eyes red. "Those people, with no relation to us, are willing to risk their lives to save us. Brothers, lift your spirits! We, the Stone Wall Army, are the undefeated legion!"
Everyone raised their weapons, their spirits ignited!
